Shoulder Treatments

The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body. It is a ball-and-socket joint containing many components that allow for mobility. The upper arm bone (humerus) represents the ball and the shoulder blade (scapula) represents the socket. The rotator cuff supports the shoulder. It consists of many tendons and muscles. We routinely perform several shoulder treatments at The Orthopedic Clinic, including:

Total Shoulder Replacement

Total shoulder replacement removes damaged portions of the shoulder joint and replaces either the ball or the ball-and-socket with an artificial component called a prosthesis. The advantages of our approach include:

• Improved mobility
• Less muscle cutting
• Comprehensive physical therapy plan
• 24-hour regional anesthesia for less pain
• Nerve block catheters to reduce post-procedure pain

Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis

The reverse shoulder prosthesis helps relieve both severe shoulder arthritis and irreparable rotator cuff damage. The reverse shoulder prosthesis replaces the damaged joint. The implant mimics the anatomy of the shoulder but provides a deeper socket to stabilize the joint. The advantages of our approach include:

• On-site post-surgery physical therapy
• Physical therapists who work closely with the surgeon
• 24-hour regional anesthesia for less pain
• Nerve block catheters to make physical therapy less painful

Shoulder Arthroscopy

Shoulder arthroscopy is one of the most common shoulder procedures outside of a total shoulder replacement. We may recommend this if non-surgical techniques aren’t working to relieve pain. The advantages of our approach include:

• Minimally invasive
• Lower chance of bleeding and infection
• Faster recovery
• On-site post-surgery physical therapy
• Physical therapists who work closely with the surgeon

Bankart Lesion Repair

Bankart lesion repair is typically performed on a patient who suffers from a dislocated shoulder. This is a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure. The advantages of our approach include:

• Lower chance of bleeding and infection
• Faster recovery
• On-site post-surgery physical therapy
• Physical therapists who work closely with the surgeon

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

We insert a small camera into your shoulder joint through a tiny incision. This camera allows us to guide the miniature surgical instruments to perform this minimally invasive procedure. The advantages of our approach include:

• Lower chance of bleeding and infection
• Faster recovery
• On-site post-surgery physical therapy
• Physical therapists who work closely with the surgeon
